April Fools! It’s NO joke! This is April in Ontario. I was hoping to put away my winter coats for the season but we had another snowfall. There’s a lovely nature trail through the forest behind my house and it does look beautiful with freshly fallen snow.

My cousin and friends in Germany are sending and posting photos of spring blossoms. My fashionable blogging friends are showing off their lovely spring outfits …

I made my Tam O’Shanter when I was a teenager. It’s upcycled from a skirt that I outgrew. My mom taught me to upcycle because they did it during the Depression and WWII (not that they used the term upcycling back then).

Best part–it’s 100% ANIMAL FREE Outwear – “We replaced goose down with state-of-the-art technology, PLUMTECH®: it is warmer, more breathable and lighter. We have a daily commitment: to improve the sustainability of our company in full respect of the animals, the environment in which they live and the people who live there.”

How’s the weather in your neck of the woods?

Thanks so much! It’s my favourite jacket. The snow is melting and I’ll be glad if I never see it again. Glad spring has arrived on Vancouver Island. We have talked about moving to BC. Perhaps someday. 🙂

I feel bad for you Carmen! Our snow is gone now and signs of Spring are starting. You are pretty in pink with the puffer Jacket , boots and the floral Jeans. I love that you upcycled and made the Tam O as a teenager! You and Jean are styling in your Jackets in Seattle. Wishing you a nice and hopefully warm weekend, Terri xo.

Snow is melting! Spring is in the air, it won’t be long now. When I saw Jean in this jacket, I wanted one too, I love her style and I love her store! Glad you like my Tam O’Shanter, I used to sew a lot in those days. Thanks so much for stopping by! Enjoy the weekend:-)

What a beautiful, delicate and soft look! I love the color and the pattern. This soft pink has always been a perfect color for you. The pants are cute, I really like the pattern. The beanie looks beautiful on you and I really like your boots. This week I was also in the snow, snowshoeing. But here the weather is already spring, to find snow we have to climb more than 2000 meters.

Thank you very much for your lovely comment! Pink is my favourite colour lately, especially this soft pretty shade. You’re fortunate to have spring already and yet snow on the mountains, so you have both whenever you want. 🙂 WOW!!! What a height to climb, take care! You have the best of both worlds! 🙂

Lovely snow, still Spring will be there soon, hopefully. I am off to Germany on and off for now, as my mum passed away yesterday. Sad things to do and arrange. There is supposed to be snow on Wednesday there too.

So sad to hear that Ute. May God comfort you during this difficult time. I know the heartache of not having my mom with me anymore and I miss her very much. Mothers are special, they love us with unconditional love, there’s no one who can replace them. You’ll always miss your beloved mother. Sending love and prayers for you and your dear family! ❤️

I love that you made your hat, Carmen. Talk about smart and thrifty!!
We just had 2 inches of snow on Saturday….but luckily it’s pretty well melted by today. It’s like we say…springtime in the Rockies!!
